Winning Irish Lotto ticket location named as two players scoop six-figure sum
The search is on to find Ireland's latest big Lotto winners, who have each bagged impressive six-figure prizes in tonight's draw.
In the main Lotto draw, one player came remarkably close to claiming the jackpot prize of €3,976,241 by matching five of the six numbers plus the bonus.
While they narrowly missed out on the top prize, the lucky individual still secured an impressive €154,441. The winning combination was 12, 13, 17, 20, 22, 31 and bonus 6.
But there was even more to celebrate in the Lotto Plus 2 draw, where the jackpot prize of €250,000 was won by a player who matched all six numbers plus the bonus. The winning numbers were 24, 25, 35, 37, 39, 43 and bonus 7.
As the mystery winner has yet to come forward, the National Lottery has issued an appeal for all players to carefully check their numbers. As part of the appeal, they've also confirmed the exact location where the winning Lotto Plus 2 ticket was bought.
It's been revealed that the golden ticket was sold somewhere in Co Meath. The National Lottery is urging players in this area to check their tickets carefully and if you're holding the winner, contact its claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@lottery.ie to arrange the collection of your prize.
Elsewhere, there was no top prize winner in the Lotto Plus 1, but two lucky players secured €5,000 each by matching five numbers plus the bonus.
Finally, in the Lotto Raffle, 52 lucky players won €500 each by drawing the correct number.

Louth lotto syndicate of 11 tradesmen wins €255,000 EuroMillions
The syndicate are 'Jacks of All Trades', made up of builders, plumbers, electricians, and engineers that have been playing together for five years. The group has stuck to a simple system: one group chat, one EuroMillions ticket each, three lines with the Plus, and everyone keeping an eye on every ticket. On this occasion, their winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased by head of the syndicate, Richard O'Brien, at Applegreen, Newfoundwell Road, Greenbatter, Drogheda, Co. Louth, on the day of the draw. That ticket held the all-important raffle number: I-SDL-14299, and Richard said he initially thought they won a modest €5,000. Typically, every EuroMillions draw produces ten winners of the €5,000 Ireland-Only Raffle prize, but last month players have the chance to win an additional €250,000. 'One of the lads said, 'check again, we've won a lot more than that. There's a special raffle on'. I thought he was pulling my leg until I looked it up. That's when I saw we'd won an extra €250,000. 'The phone was hopping with calls and texts for the rest of the night. It was madness but great excitement,' Richard said. The next morning, Richard phoned the National Lottery Claims team to confirm the win. That evening, the group met up to sign the back of the winning ticket and celebrated their win together. There are many plans for spending the winnings, with talks of holidays and sun destinations, and one winner has his heart set on buying a couch for his partner. The crew of 11 travelled to the National Lottery Headquarters today to collect and celebrate their winnings. This marks the second win in Drogheda over the last week, with €255,000 won last week. Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to good causes in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish language. In total, more than €6.5 billion has been raised for good causes since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2024 alone, €239.3 million was raised for local good causes in communities across Ireland.

‘Jack of all trades' group scoops final Prize in exclusive Irish EuroMillions draw
A 'jack of all trades' syndicate have been revealed as the final winners of the final bonus Ireland Only EuroMillions raffle. For the month of May, the National Lottery saw every EuroMillions draw have a special bonus draw for the Ireland-Only raffle, which would see one winner of the €5,000 prize win an extra €250,000. After several huge wins across the country, an 11 strong syndicate of tradesmen from the east of the country have been revealed as the winners of the €255,000, with the head of the syndicate Richard O'Brien purchasing the ticket at Applegreen in Newfoundwell Road, Greenbatter in Drogheda, Co Louth on the day of the draw. The 11-strong 'Jacks of All Trades' Syndicate from Co. Louth claimed a €255,000 prize in the EuroMillions Ireland-Only Raffle, celebrating their win at National Lottery HQ. Pic: McInnes Photography The syndicate, which is made of builders, plumbers, engineers and electricians, had a simple system: one group chat, one ticket each, three lines with the plus and everyone keeping an eye on every ticket — with one member of the syndicate beating Richard to the punch in checking that they had the winning raffle number of I-SDL-14299. Richard had initially thought that they won the more 'modest' €5,000 sum, but 'one of the lads said 'check again, we've won a lot more than that! There's a special raffle on.' I thought he was pulling my leg… until I looked it up. That's when I saw we won an extra €250,000! 'The phone was hopping with calls and texts for the rest of the night,' Richard added. 'It was madness but great excitement!' The syndicate were the last EuroMillions players this month to win the massive €255,000 bonus in the Ireland-Only raffle. Pic: MacInnes Photography Richard confirmed the huge win with the National Lottery the next day, with the team coming from the eastern corners of the country to Lotto HQ to sign the back of their ticket and celebrate their massive win. As for what they plan on doing, the lads have debated how to spend their massive windfall — with one set to buy a new couch for his partner, while another is helping a family member save for a house. The group chat that also won the huge windfall are now also debating where to head on holiday, with sun destination chatter heating up. The lads' plans for the money include buying a couch for a partner, as well as helping a relative save for a house.

'Jacks of all trades' syndicate celebrate life-changing EuroMillions win
A Lotto syndicate made up of a crew of tradesmen have hammered home their biggest job yet after bagging a life-changing six-figure sum in a recent EuroMillions draw. The 11-strong crew of tradesmen travelled from corners of the east of the country to Lotto HQ in Dublin on Wednesday to collect their €255,000 prize, which they won in the special EuroMillions Ireland Only Raffle being run throughout the month of May. The syndicate, made up of builders, plumbers, electricians, and engineers, were one of 10 winners of the Ireland Only Raffle in the EuroMillions draw on May 27. And while that prize is usually worth €5,000, the National Lottery added an additional prize of €250,000 for one winner of the Ireland-Only Raffle for all nine EuroMillions draws during the month of May. The group's winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased by head of the syndicate, Richard O'Brien, at Applegreen, on Newfoundwell Road in Greenbatter, Drogheda, Co Louth, on the day of the draw. That ticket held the all-important raffle number: I-SDL-14299. The syndicate has been playing together for five years and the group has stuck to a simple system: one group chat, one EuroMillions ticket each, three lines with the Plus, and everyone keeping an eye on every ticket. Shortly after the draw on May 27, one eagle-eyed member beat Richard to checking the tickets and sent a simple message to the group saying: "This is a winner!" Richard initially thought they'd bagged a modest €5,000. "Then one of the lads said, 'Check again, we've won a lot more than that. There's a special raffle on.' I thought he was pulling my leg… until I looked it up. That's when I saw we'd won an extra €250,000!" said Richard. "The phone was hopping with calls and texts for the rest of the night. It was madness but great excitement!" he added. The next morning, Richard contacted the National Lottery Claims team to confirm the win. That evening, the group met up to sign the back of the winning ticket and celebrated their win together. Since then, the 11-strong crew have been happily debating how to spend their handsome windfall. One of the syndicate members plans on buying a new couch for his partner, another is helping a family member save for a house, and the group chat is now full of holiday plans and chatter on sun destination.
